In this episode, Hal and Craig discuss Steven Soderbergh's Traffic and its perspective on the War on Drugs, as well as our favorite Soderbergh films. Discussion also includes: the new king of hip-hop: Ben Shapiro; Craig accidentally watched a Christian horror movie; Steven Soderbergh at the forefront of new cinematic techniques; movies with large ensemble casts and multiple plot lines; and our recent film watches, including THE LAST DUEL, KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON, SOCIETY OF THE SNOW, and THE DAMNED.

We finish off our triptych of latter-year Clint Eastwood films with THE MULE about an old man who gets mixed up with the Cartel, but in a cool old man way. Discussion also includes: Prano Bailey-Bond's 2021 film CENSOR; “Ringmaster: Vince McMahon and the Unmaking of America” by Josie Riesman; The documentary TAKE CARE OF MAYA; and again, we discuss which of Clint Eastwood's children he dislikes the most (still Scott).
